Cannes Short Film Corner 2010
Back in March I decided that I'd check out the Cannes Film Festival this year, so I pretty rapidly, wrote, cast, shot, edited and submitted a short film. It got into the Short Film Corner, so Kaitlyn and I headed out there in May to see what all the fuss was about.

Back in April I did some doc filming for the Northern Net 4 hour film challenge. Taking place in three cities simultaneously, a bunch of film making teams had just, yep, you guessed it, 4 hours to make short films from concept to handing over the finished edit.

Thinking Straight – Short film shoot
A few months back I was asked if I'd join a writer/producer team as director, in a bid to secure funding from Vision + Media for a short film.

Road to Cannes – Short Film Corner
Received an email from Chris Jones, author of the Guerilla Filmmakers Handbook, with a link to his guide to the Cannes Film Festival. (If you've not seen this, check it out here). After seeing it, I realised that I needed to go this year. Just one problem - to get festival accreditation (in order to see movies, attend events etc) at a reasonable price, I would need to enter a short film into the Cannes Short Film Corner.
